Born in Glasgow Alan moved to London in his teens to follow his dreams of playing in a punk rock band only to find himself homeless and living in the doorway of boots the chemist in Covent Garden. A chance meeting with a kindly friend who offered him the opportunity to live in their squat led to him starting a club night, 'The Living Room' and then the record label that became the legendary Creation Records. From its earliest days as a purveyor of cool indie music the label went on to find global success with artists such as primal scream and most notably Oasis before Alan decided to sell up to pursue new adventures.
